As soon as I knew that my sister Ashley was going to get married, I just wanted to write a song for her.
I got a friend, Ravin to help put my emotions into words. It was his first time writing song lyrics! I was totally surprised when reading his first attempt. It was unbelievable……..it captured my true feelings of my dear sister!
However, it took a lot of effort to write an appropriate and complementing melody to the lyrics. Eventually, the melody was ready some 3 weeks before my sister's big day.
Next I wanted to arrange and record it in a studio. At that time I was undecided on the composition. At that moment, I knew Chee Chau would be able to help me.
It was a delight to hear Chee Chau's arrangement after just 2 days. It perfectly matched the mood of the whole song.
Soon after, I recorded it and make an audio CD for my dearest sister.
This was a total surprise to my sister, and I decided to only let her know on her wedding day itself. To better let her appreciate the message of the song, I also included the power point presentation of the lyrics. For my mother, I included the Chinese translation in the power point as well!
Finally, I hand made a CD cover and wrap it as best I could as my gift to my sister.
The song was presented beautifully as planned during the wedding dinner, and the two sisters cried and cried…………..
It is indeed a very emotional song to many that have heard it, and we now called it the "crying song".
一定觉得很惊讶为什么是“钦爱” 而不是 “亲爱”吧？
同一样的读音，但意义有所不同。
“亲爱”是人们常用的词，就是挚爱的意思。
“钦爱”是指我爱。。。我-丘慧钦挚爱的姐姐。 沈略来说就是钦爱的。。。
当我知道姐姐将要结婚的那一霎那， 就想要为我们的姐妹情写一首歌。
由于自己的文法不怎么理想。就邀请Ravinder 帮我写一首英文歌词。
第一次看了他的歌词就感动得掉下眼泪。文字虽然简单，但却完完全全表达出我的感想。
这也是Ravinder第一次写歌词。
经过了好几次的改正，终于歌曲和歌词就完整地诞生了。
当时，我对这首歌的歌曲还没怎么满意。然而，最终歌曲也就过得了自己那一关才肯拿出来让好友-智超听一听。
好开心那一次的分享竟然得到了智超的喜爱。好友还随意地在自己的钢琴上编上简单的曲。当时的我，就下定要智超帮我完成我的编曲。 一来可以让自己的歌曲有一点不同的风格， 二来可以看看自己的歌曲可以变化出什么样的味道。
好友只用了一天的时间就帮我把歌曲编好。经过了简单的录音和混音后就打算自己包装CD封套送给姐姐。
这一切，都是保密的。姐姐都不知道。直到她结婚当天，我做了简单的power point slide show来呈现给她。
我们俩当时感动得掉下眼泪。
这就留下姐姐结婚的感动画面。。。。。。
